You should Hadamard again to reverse the superposition.

Bring in the slop.

DuckDuckGo player does pretty good.

Lol. Vance is going to do the right thing?

I agree that artistic license was taken to make him look more human than he otherwise presents.

He did what he always does. Fuck things up and hope someone comes in, like his sad father, to put things back together for him.

He bombed them and they come out on top. I’m tired of fucking winning.

Is that the same level one that my 4 year old is currently doing?

Like, can’t be.

I’m not a Venezuelan apologist by any means

That’s where the discourse often gets stupid.

“Oh, so you support such and such then?”

No, big brain, we just shouldn’t be doing the shit we are doing.

He does look like he gets underfoot.

Sorry, but I have memorized 27 precepts.

Ok, but in this case you are incorrect. The whole “spending money poorly” thing doesn’t match up to the financial reality of most schools, in particular the many small ones. I’ve spent a good portion of my career in higher ed (among other things) administering my own paltry budget.

And your poor experiences aside, I promise you that what you are describing would work in any program I’ve administered unless the 7th grader was already capable of college level work. You just make it sound like you went to a rather low quality school.

Go back to pre-Regan days. The state paid for around 90% or so (depending) on the coat of education.

By the 2000s or so that number dropped to a paltry amount (something more like 15%).

My parents’ generation could go to a state school and pay off their entire bill for a year doing a few weeks of summer work. Now people rack up years worth of debt.

The financial reality is educating people is expensive. Just hiring enough competent professors and staff for a small university is potentially a rather significant number of millions annually. We need to go back to funding it socially rather than putting the burden on the individual.

I’m the fear addicted

But I wish the public saw how increased access to education helps improve things for everyone, even if you don’t get educated directly (though I’d support a system that gave universal access to education so no one is being completely denied, though some gating based on ability would help avoid waste time).

That would be wonderful, but the public perception is a hindrance (like high speed rail, medicine access, etc.).

The US is wildly propagandized against our own best interests.

That addresses the funding side, but there’s a corruption/conflict of interest side to it, too. Like when the author is also a prof or when the publishers offer kick backs to requiring the textbook.

Sometimes? I went to an R1 where many of the professors wrote the book on their respective subject, so using an other text for their own teaching may have actually downgraded the experience. Even then it didn’t happen frequently. I also knew one prof who used his own book. You may be right about the nefarious behavior for some publishers, but he was pretty open about his cut and it was shockingly small per book.

I was actually speaking more to the funding of education in general, which was one of parent’s main points (texts on top of the exorbitant costs).

That wasn’t an issue prior to the Reagan administration who led the charge to refund education decades ago, and successfully pushed most of the states to abandoning our public assistance (and putting the burden largely on the individuals and their families).

Text prices are too high, and have been for many years. That isn’t as much the universities as it is the publishers, bookstores, and other nefarious entities. Universities largely don’t set book prices, they just pass them on to the students. There really isn’t much choice.

I’m not dividing shit, if that was what you are implying. In Memphis he very much chose to pollute communities of color, specifically, with his (possibly illegal) hydrocarbon burning.

It is important for us to understand that these sorts of dynamics are more likely to affect poor communities based on things like skin color, because they are the same communities that we continue to blight.

See also Memphis putting garbage dumps and other bullshit smack in the middle of communities of color.

If white neighborhoods carried the same risk, I would agree with you.

Perhaps she is playing into the image that she has nothing to offer the world.

*sex gifs

Talk to your state government about actually funding education for its people again.

Good thing Elon is poisoning communities of color for this.

You could just stop with Daily Wire and it would still work.
